one of the dearest bars in belfast and for the staff usless they have no people skills how low can this bar stoop never again
once this bar was worth drinking in now its one of the dearest bars in belfast once this bar was packed with punters now at night you would be lucky to get 3 or 4 punters drinking that is one way to chase the punters SO any chance of taking a bit of profit and respect and maybe you migth get your old punters back
your last reviewer JIMMY must have won the lottery as you would need a blank cheque to eat in this bar and resturant the staff are first class but the food is skimpy sorry about my opinion drink is reasonable
